Legislators sent Gov. Pat McCrory a bill to make it harder for able-bodied adults without children to get food stamps but another to restrict local government powers did not make the cut before the state General Assembly adjourned early Wednesday.

The food bill would, if McCrory signs it, require that recipients of food assistance work or volunteer at least 20 hours a week or be in a job training program to get benefits.

The Senate passed it Monday in a 38-17 vote. It passed in the House 70-43 on Tuesday night.

The local government bill would have prevented cities and counties from adopting rules on housing, wages and nondiscrimination. Supporters said local governments have exceeded their authority in some areas, and opponents said the legislature was about to exercise too much of its power while bypassing normal procedures by taking up the last-minute measure.

The House sent the bill to committee. Then the Senate reversed itself and accepted a previous version of the bill that dealt with rules on counselors and did not contain language on local governments. That made the provisions affecting cities and counties a dead letter.

--The Senate passed a bill late Monday night that would require traditional public schools to give more of the money they receive to charter schools but the House did not vote on it before leaving for the year. The bill is eligible for consideration in 2016.

Asheville City and Buncombe County schools say the bill would cost them more than $1 million each year.

--The House voted not to go along with legislation that would set a referendum in Lake Junaluska and Waynesville on whether Waynesville will annex the neighboring Haywood County community. House and Senate negotiators then removed the provisions affecting Lake Junaluska and legislators passed the original bill dealing with boundaries of two Stanly County towns.
